There are several versions of the Advantage so unsure which manual to pull up. One of the original models:

Troubleshooting starts on page 14. Unfortunately, no wiring diagrams.

The Advantage IIT has three limit switches, 2 high limit and one low limit. Wiring diagram page 34

Contains wiring diagram for the earlier Advantage, page 3:

Looks like it is a high limit switch on the inlet...

Question hooked up a digital manometer on my stove set it on hi like paper say now it reads .017 pull damper out or push in no change reads on high say .035 to .065.had it set to diff pressure unless I'm doing something wrong had tube right above door latch like it says or do i have to hook it to the vaccum switch and combustion housing

What I've seen so far is there is either a port for manometer hook-up or hook up in-line on the vacuum switch. No all stoves have a port hook-up though. Not sure what you would need for the in-line hook-up...

Where is there a sensor by the air intake ? ? Have a photo ?

There are only 3 sensors, pressure sensor - from the round item hooked up to the exhaust, the over temp - hooked by the fire box and the "proof of fire" by the exhaust. All carry 120V as they lead to the control panel or auger motor.

See post #2 last link for the wiring diagram ... on the air inlet.
